Re: "I Was A Teenage Bot Master"

"That's why I love this age, its all computers heh," SoBe wrote in early December 2005, a month after Ancheta's arrest, during an online chat. "All these companys have websites, etc. Its just funny going somewhere like Target, or Sprint then coming home and rooting there servers out of boredom. Makes some people feel like they can do anything." (Misspellings and grammatical errors are his.)

This juvenile delinquent should pay more attention in school.

Hopefully, part of his sentence will forbid him access to computers.

Oh....and where ARE the parents?

What do you want to bet he gets hired by Eset, or Norton, or the FBI, to help them stop other hackers from doing what he did?

Possibly, but I would hope they wouldn't reward him (and he seems to be a idiot in other ways). That sends a really bad message. Not to mention, what he and his dopey friend did isn't really that *special*. Botnets are a dime a dozen.

His parents looked on.

Too bad they didn't look on a little sooner to see what junior was up to.

It would be the equivalent of hiring a bank robber as a security specialist.

That's happened before and the person has been very good at helping those he harmed. Read Catch Me If You Can. It's a true story.

From the Register link: "With an abundance of time on his hands and little adult supervision, he thrived on the excitement of a life dominated by World of Warcraft, fast motorcycles and computer hacking."

Too, dropping out of school after the 8th grade accounts nicely for "an abundance of time on his hands".

You know, looking back, I can envision myself and the, fetching, Mrs. being all understanding and supportive of allowing/enabling any of our three, now grown and gone, to have dropped out of school after the 8th grade ... nah!!!
